Like letters ofrefereneeireferto like parts in the 'lhis invention relates to a device for hanging eavescl'ouglis, whereby said troughs can be attached to the building or taken therefromwithout removing the `hangers wherebythe troughsare suspended, as here in more' fully described. .i i I i A representsthe eaves-trough, on the outer 'edgelot which is turneda bead,Bover and around which is clasped one endof the bar C, .whereas thelopposite end isbent down at aright angle over the inner edge `ofltheside of the trough. fr

, 4vThe dependent limb `Dlof the' angle is pierced with a slotted hole, a, fig. 2, for the receptionl of thexpoint b, formed on theend ot' the brace E. Said` brace is locked to the under side of the bar by `a key, c, terminating the end of thehanger F,v by inserting the sa'me inthe keyhole c, shown in the detached section, tig. 3. f

The practical application of this device to the trough.

is shown in fig. 1, iu -which it will be seen that the in'- ner side of the trough is held by and between the lirnbs D 'Ot' the bar and shoulder of the brace, at the base of the point l), which penetrates the side of the trough and enters the slotted hole afand therein retained by the opposite end being braced against the inside ofthe trough, as seen at G, iig. 1, thereby preventing the sides of the trough from lateral compression, while the bar' prevents' it from lateral expan sion.` The brace and bar thus arranged and attached to the trough are locked together by the key c, as shownin the drawing, thereby making the att-ach'- ment of the trough to the hanger andto the building neat, strong, and durable, convenient, and easy i n its adjustment, and simple to manipulate.

What Iclaimas 'my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

vThe combination of the key c, hanger F, bar C,

`brace E, and trough A, constructed and arranged in relation to each other, and used eonjoiutly, substantially as and for the purpose set fortln l i J. 1",ABBOTT.
